Oh no. That fits the bill perfectly lol.

I can’t afford one, but I also just don’t want to. I get groceries delivered and can Uber around. I just don’t travel all that much.

I never know how to answer this. I grew up till middle school in Canada and the rest of my school in India. I rarely get dentist with many Indian traditions, but I also didn’t spend enough time in Canada to be a “real” Canadian.

I just flip a coin in my head and answer each time. And then get the follow-up asking where my parents are from. Just ask my race, you coward.

Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.

Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.

They’d have to drop it significantly for most people to buy. If I had a spare $2k I’d upgrade my Mac.

Which plugin do you use?

Kind of. The app doesn’t in any way tell you that you can use the card balance to pay part of your bill and then use a credit card for the rest; I only found out when a barista told me

Apparently the dumbest one ever

Yeah the syntax is pretty far from more established languages, which is why I prefer C++ when I use it.

OOTL: what happened to MFP?

This is such an odd choice to me. I have no idea why they decided on this. Also it doesn’t remember the play time for every game, just the top N. God forbid they use the few extra bytes to store that information.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon. Easiest transition. If you want customization, use KDE. If you want your desktop environment to make choices for you, GNOME.
